On paper, Malik Stones has everything a man should want - a promising career, a new wife, and two beautiful children who look up to him. But behind the image he fights to protect, Malik is breaking under the weight of being everyone's provider, protector, and savior. His days are swallowed by a high-pressure job that demands more than he has left to give. His nights are divided between answering his ex's relentless calls and comforting a wife drowning in her own quiet depression. The bills keep coming, the arguments keep looping, and Malik's pride won't let him admit that he's running on empty. He wears success like armor, but cracks are starting to show - in his patience, in his marriage, in his faith. The man who once believed he could handle anything is beginning to realize there are battles no amount of pride can win. Yet, even as his world starts to slip through his fingers, Malik refuses to kneel, to pray, or to surrender his control. "Something Pride Can't Cover" is a raw, soul-stirring story about manhood, ego, and the silent wars fought in the minds of men who believe asking for help is weakness. It's about the price of silence, the illusion of strength, and the power that comes when a man finally faces the one thing he's been avoiding - God.

A lie can cover the world, but it cannot stop the sun from rising. In the Empire of the Great Seal, the sky is a gilded cage and the silence is a weapon. Lu Zian, a scholar of the elite Ling Yun Sect, walks the earth as a paragon of grace, a living masterpiece of jade and white silk. But beneath his elegant robes, the ink on his skin is turning black, and the "Dignity" he represents is a hollow shell built upon a secret that could drown the world in blood. When the sunset bell rings, the demons rise. But they are not the only things hunting in the dark. Huo Yan, a fierce martial artist with a sword named Sun and a heart full of ash, is a man who has lost everything but his target. He doesn't seek the "peace" the sects promise; he seeks the source of the rot. When he forces the distant, untouchable Lu Zian into an uneasy alliance, he doesn't realize he is walking alongside the very ghost he is trying to kill. Their journey will take them beyond the safety of the talismans, into forgotten forests where the trees scream and cities where the water remembers the taste of the dead. As they hunt the manifestations of human fear, the bond between them grows-a dangerous heat that threatens to melt the ice of Zian's deception. In a land where truth is a death sentence, their greatest threat isn't the monsters outside the walls-it's the moment the Sun finally looks at the Moon and sees what is hidden in the dark.

Everything the princess is not. And for the first time, Lynn is forced to confront what she truly wants. Is she willing to give up the only life she's ever known?

Fading Embers (الجمر الخافت) "One small light against the encroaching dark." Behind the heavy wooden gates of a sun-baked mud house in early Arabia, a silent war is being waged. For young Riham, home is a place of shadows, sharp voices, and a father's hardening resentment. Her existence is fragile, protected only by the fierce, quiet love of her mother, Khadijah. Standing on a breaking bridge between duty and survival, Khadijah carries a crushing weight-pouring her tears onto her prayer mat during Tahajjud, begging for a sanctuary that feels entirely out of reach. But in a world governed by rigid tribal pride, walls cannot keep out the storm forever. When a single domestic spark ignites a dangerous rage, the fragile peace of the household fractures completely, forcing a desperate choice. In a society where the weak are easily extinguished, survival requires a strength that must be forged in the deepest darkness. When the embers of resentment finally boil over, how far will a woman go to protect the light she was born to shield? A gripping historical tale of silent sacrifices, hidden resilience, and the fierce fight to survive against an encroaching dark.

Felix looked over at the older man. He certainly was attractive. He had long, dark hair that fell off in shaggy layers down his thick neck. The light of the club made his sharp facial features stand out. He was dressed in something crisp and slick, a suit, though he had no undershirt and you could see the beginning of his chest before the first button. He unconsciously twirled a strand of hair around his finger, a small grin on his face. Like he thought, eye candy. Hyunjin smirked just a little at the gesture, turning in is seat to face the other man fully. "Go on. Order what you want." He said, nodding over the counter. Felix looked at the woman with those pretty eyes of his. "I'll take a margarita on the rocks, please, ma'am." She nodded and looked over at Hyunjin. "Your strongest glass of whiskey, beautiful." He said in that husky voice of his. She blushed a little at the term of affection but went off with his credit card and started making the drinks.
